OFFICES—CORNER OF LITTLE CARTER-LANE, ST. PAUL'S. The Attempted Murder of a Sweetheart at Chelmsford, Yesterday Henry Augustus Munn, the young man who attempted to cut the throat of his sweetheart, at Chelms ford, on the 11th instant, was brought up for examination at the Shire Hall before a full bench of magistrates. The court was excessively crowded, principally by young women, who appeared to take a great interest in the pro ceedings. Indeed as soon as it was rumoured in the town that the young woman had so far recovered from the wound in her throat as to be able to appear at the court and give evidence against the prisoner there was a general desire on the part of the public to be present. The prisoner, it will be remembered, is an Irish soldier, but has been em ployed as in-door servant to Major Masters, of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, Chatham Division, who resides at Mr Nicholson's, High - street, Chelmsford; and the young woman, whose name is Charlotte Turner, was Mr Nichol son's maid-servant. Prisoner had paid his addresses to her, and she had given him some encouragement ; but recently she had discarded hina for another, although. probably to exonerate herself, she denies this. This so exasperated him that he attempted on the 11th instant to cut her throat with a razor. ' Prisoner, who has a very determined expression of coun tenance, was placed in the dock some time before the chair man took his seat, and employed himself in nodding to various persons whom he recognised amongst the spectators. The young woman, who is yet unable to lift up her head, and appears much depressed in spirits, was accommodated with a seat near the bench. She said—l am a single wo man, and have been a servant at Mr Niel°lson's since 2d 2d October, 1863. I was not there when prisoner first came to wait on Major Masters. It was my duty to attend to the major's rooms and cook for him. Since I have been there he has never said anything to me about marriage, and there was no more attention shown to me by him than I could expect from a fellow-servant. On the day in question I went up to Major Masters's bedroom, at a quarter to eleven o'clock in the morning. I was alone, and went to make the bed. About five minutes afterwards prisoner came into the room. He said "I believe you have been telling mistress something about me." I replied "No, Munn, I have not." Shortly afterwards I said " Now, Munn, go out ; the major will be coming." That was about all that had passed, and he then placed his left arm round me, and saying " Char lotte, dear," drew something across my throat, but what it was I cannot say. (Witness here was so much affected that she could not proceed with her evidence for a few minutes.) She afterwards continued—At the moment I did not know it was anything serious, but I soon felt the wound smart, and saw blood flowing copiously. Ho went out, and I ran to the door to fasten it against him, and screamed and knocked for assistance as well as I was able. Major Masters came up, and I opened the door. Whoa he saw me he ran out for a doctor and the police. Prisoner had escaped into the street, but as I was told was afterwards apprehended on the London-road. He had never threatened me, nor had ho ever wished to marry me. There is a young man who is paying his addresses to me. I be lieve there was something of an altercation between prisoner and this young man, but I do not know the nature of it. It is best known to themselves. I was walking with my young man on a Tuesday evening, about a month before this oc currence, and when we were near the chapel prisoner came behind us. He said to me, " Oh, that's you, Charlotte?" I replied, " Yes,it's me, Munn." He then said to my friend, " Oh, you are the fellow I want to see," He immediately afterwards struck my young Mdtt. They quarrelled, but I walked on alone. Prisoner had no right in the major's bed-room on the morning in question. Prisoner (to witness)—Did you not tell me that you were a married woman when you came to live at Mr Nichol. son's ? Witness—l said I had been married. Did you not tell me your husband was alive ?—lf the man was married when he married me, I am single still. Prisoner—l can prove that you are not a prudent young woman. Thomas Sewell said—l am an errand boy at Mr Nichol•• son's. About a fortnight before this occurrence I saNN pri soner with a razor. I was in the chaise-house, and he came out of the kitchen towards me. He said in an angry tone, " I'll cut her b--- throat." I made no reply ; and he said the same words a second time, and added, "If I don't, Billy, me." I have heard prisoner and the young woman quarrel about love affairs. Prisoner to the young woman—Pll ask you another ques tion—Did you not tell me out of your own mouth that you were married, and you could not marry anybody ; and then afterwards did you not tell me that you would marry me when my time of service was up P The Young Woman-1 did not. The prisoner was then cautioned in the usual way, and in reply said—l have nothing to say. He was then committed to take his trial at the next assizes to be holden at Chaim ford, in December.

The fearful gale which set in on Wednesday night from the westward has at length sealed the destruction of the large iron steamer Ontario, 3,000 tons burden, which went on the Hasborough Sands off the Norfolk coast, on S un d a y n i g ht. Th e seven ty extra hands who were put on board on Monday to assist in throwing the large cargo of coals over. board refused to continue the work when the gale commenced, although offered the high rate of re muneration of 2s. 61. per hour—there was then no apparent danger of the ship breaking up, and the six steam tugs hovered about to render immediate assistance in case of need. They landed on Wed. nesday evening, but the crew remained, and during the night the weather became so severe that the most painful anxiety was felt for the safety of those left on board. Blue lights were fired and rockets sent up in the hop e that the lifeboats would come out. Captain Rivers, Lloyd's special agent at Yar. mouth, at once applied to the Yarmouth beachmen, who were in the habit of manning the lifeboat of that port, to go out to the rescue of those on the wreck, but, astounding as it may appear, they de clined to take the life boat off to the Ontario unless they were paid the large amount of £5OO. The agent declined to accede to those terms, and the beachmen, true to their outrageous demand, kept the boat ashore. Captain Rivers then hastened to Gorleston, a few miles from Yarmouth, and engaged the lifeboat at that place for £lOO, The boat ac cordingly went off to the wreck, but the sea was making such a sweep over the stranded ship that she could not be approached within a distance of 100 fathoms or so. Late on Thursday the sea had so mewhat gone down, and 75 of the hands succeeded in getting away in two other boats, leaving only the captain, ufficers, and pilot on board, who remained in order to see whether there was any chance of saving the valuable vessel. The gale and sea again got up, and the ensign, with the jack down, was seen to be hoisted as a signal of distress for taking off the master and pilot, and the few others who were left on board, and the latest telegram announced that the ship was sinking rapidly into the sand, and would doubtless prove a total loss. the Yarmouth of out to the beachmen Th w reck unless they received the sum o f £5OO, wa s The extraordinary in refusing to conducttake the ° brought under the notice of the mayor of the town and the other magistrates who were presiding at the police-court on Thursday. Ai r Clowes mentioned the circumstances of the stranding of the steamer, and of the refusal of the men who had the manage ment of the lifeboat to take her out unless on cer tain conditions —that a gale Was blowing from the S.W., and blue lights and rockets were being fired from the wreck, and he (Mr Clowes) wished to know whether the Act of Parliament enabled the magistrates to take any action in the matter. If the vessel had gone to pieces all on board must inevitably have been drowned. The Mayor said—lt seemed that when Captain Rivers, Lloyd's agent, saw the weather coming on so threatening be endeavoured to make terms with the beachmen of Yarmouth, but they would not go without £5OO. The value of the vessel was so great that the men seemed not to know what to ask, Mr Preston said such a demand as that made by the beachmen lie had never heard of. Mr Clowes hoped some steps would be taken in order that these beachmen might learn that they could not in such an emergency drive what bar gain they pleased. The Mayor observed that the men left themselves without an excuse the moment they said they would not go unless for a certain sum. Such conduct on the part of the beachmen was really a disgrace to' the coast.

A scheme for a new line to accommodate these towns is in the course of formation. It is a modi fication of one which was promoted last session, and is well supported in the localities intended to be accommodated. There is little or no doubt that it will be brought before Parliament in the ensuing session. Movements have also been commenced for forming lines of railway from Halifax to Holywell green, near Stainland, and from Luddenden Foot to Booth-above-Luddenden. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company are to contribute one half the capital required for these branch lines, and the other half will be contributed chiefly by the landowners and paillowners of the respective die. tricts. DEESIDE. The report of the directors states that the traffic receipts for the year ending Aug. 31 last amounted to £16,763, and the expenditure to £7,670, leaving, with £266 for last year, a balance of £9,359, out of which was deducted £1,426 for interest on de• bentures, £382 for dividend on 44 per cent, pre ference shares, and £7,436 for the proposed divi dend on the original capital, at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum, leaving a balance of £ll4. The revenue account of the Deeside Extension line showed that £5,849 had been received, including a balance of £7l from last year, the expenditure amounted to £3,265, and the interest on deben tures to £907, leaving a balance of £1,677, out of which the directors proposed a dividend at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum, leaving £77. The direc tors of the Great North of Scotland Railway Com pany had approved the payment of the proposed dividend of 7 per cent. on the original capital of the company. The working expenses, including rates, taxes, and passenger duty, amounted to nearly 381 per cent. of the receipts. Several miles of new wire fencing had beau erected on the Deeside Rail way, and a large number of new, sleepers had bcon laid down, all of which had boen charged to revenue acconnt. The capital account showed that £168,648 had been expended on the Deeside Railway, and £104,119 on the extension line. SUTHERLAND AND CAITHNESS. The survey of the proposed ling having bee n carefully made by Mr. Mitchell, the engineer, he recommended that it should start from near Boner bridge, passing near Lairg, and down Stranfleet, to Golepie, through the demesne of the Duke of Sutherland, thence to Portgower and Helmsdale, along the Altuabreck and the southern betie of Ben dorey, to near Spittal•hill, where it would join a PRICE ..4d: STAMPEa,....Sd. line to be made between Wick and Thurso, at a point about 61- miles from the latter place. A branch line of 6-L- miles in length to run to the village of Castletown was also recommended. The branch to Wick might be afterwards extended to Lybster, which would bring the fishing villages along the coast within a reasonable distance of the railway. By the proposed line the distance from Ardgay to Thurso would be 94 miles, being five miles shorter than by the present coach-road, and to Wick 102 mi!es, the total length of railway being 109 miles, in which 71 miles of the main line would run through Sutheriandshire, and 38 miles through Caithness. Along the line there would be no gra dients steeper than 1 in 75, and that only for short distances—and the united cost of all the bridges on the route would not exceed £35,000. The whole line through Sutherland would run through a picturesque country, and along valleys capable of great improvement and, cultivation. The towns of Wick and Thurso would be approachedi on nearly a level line through fertile lands in the country of Caithness. It is estimated that the railway could be constructed at an average cost of £5,000 per mile, or for the whole length of 109 miles froni Ardgay to Wick and Thurso for £550,000; the branch to Lybster would require £60,000, and the branch to Castletown £26,000, together a capital of £636,000.

Yesterday, about 2 p.m., a 50-gun screw steam frigate, bearing the Dutch flag, anchored at the Nore, and saluted the garrison and flagship, the salutes being returned by the saluting battery and the Formidable, 84, flagship of Vice-Admiral Sir C. Talbot, K.C.B. Later in the day the vessel steamed into the Medway and took up her moorings there. It was then ascertained that she was a Dutch war steamer which had sailed the previous day from Texel for Batavia, with instructions to call in at Plymouth. Just before anchoring at the Nore she appeared to have come into violent collision with a merchant ship, by which she lost her fore topgal- lant mast and jibboom„besides breaking her bow sprit, and sustaining other damage to her hull and machinery. She will be placed in one of the vacant docks to make good defects. This will probably occupy some weeks. By direction of the Admiralty a number of the officials connected with the master shipwright and engineer departments at Woolwich dockyard have attended at Chatham dockyard, for the purpose of making themselves acquainted with the method adopted at that establishment for bending the six. inch and other armour plates for the ironclad frigates Bellerophon and Lord Warden. The Assurance, 4, 200 horse power, Commander H. B. Woolcombe, is making good her defects and refitting in the Medway, preparatory to proceeding to the Mediterrean. The War Department steam storeship Lord Pan mure, H, T. Moore, commander, yesterday hauled off from the wharf at Woolwich Arsenal, under orders to proceed to Parffeet and ship 1,600 barrels of powder for Marchwood. The remainder of her cargo consists of guns of large calibre (sent to the Royal gun factories to be resighted and repaired), shot, and general war stores. Her delay at Wool wich has been occasioned by the necessity of un shipping her cargo in order to land the four 300- pounders destined for her Majesty's cupola ship Scor. pion, formerly one of the Confederate rams, and which was intended to be fitted out at Portsmouth, whither her armament was ordered to be despatched, Their Lordships have now ordered her fitment to be completed at Birkenhead. The guns will be sent round specially. Her Majesty's iron steam storeship Industry has sailed from Woolwich and Deptford with victual ling and dockyard stores for Ascension and Rio Janeiro. Her Majesty's steam troopship Fox, Staff Com mander Thomas Pullen, was yesterday warped out of the fitting basin at Woolwich, atter repairs, and went alongside the coal hulk to prepare for sea. An order has been received at Portsmouth to pay the Vesuvius, 6, paddle, out of commission. The Vesuvius, has lately arrived home from the North American and West India station, and was placed in dock at Portsmouth on her arrival to ascertain the amount of damage she had received by ground• ing, some short time previously to leaving the station, in the Bay of Islands, on the west coast of Newfoundland. This damage has proved so exten sive that it was found necessary to put the ship out of commission, and hence the present order. Yesterday being the anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar, Lord Nelson's flagship on that occasion, the Victory, now and for many years past the fieg. ship; of the Port-Admiral at Portsmouth, was crowned with evergreen wreaths at each royal masthead, and otherwise decorated in the usual manner in honour of the day. It has been an esta blished custom for the pensioners residing in or near Portsmouth who fought under Nelson on ,‘ Trafalgar's day" to repair on board the Victory, where they were received with all due honours. This band has gradually dwindled away. Last year it was represented by three persons, and yesterday only one was present. The Imperial Russian corvette Gardamack, Capt. Pesterhouroff, sailed from Spithead on Thursday for the Baltic, Sweaborg, and Cronstadt. The paddlewheel steam sloop Geyser, 6, Com mander Arthur T. Thrupp, last from Queenstown, which left Plymouth some days since to relieve homeward bound ships in the entrance to the Channel, returned to the Sound yesterday morning. The iron screw steam troop-ship Urgent, 4, Capt. Samuel H. Henderson, which landed Sappers at Plymouth, and has on board a number for convey. ance to Ireland, is detained in the Sound by heavy weather. A large proportion of the officers and men forms ing the brigades and divisions of Royal Artillery at Woolwich have this week been granted leave of absence and furlough to visit their friends, as the garrison out-door exercises, have in a measure, terminated for the season. Yesterday, in conse quence of the favourable weather, a brigade of the battalion of Royal Marine Light Infantry at Wool. wich, under the command of Col.-Commandant Hopkins, C. 8., aide.descamp, paraded for drill on the upper part of Woolwich-common, and after marching past they performed a variety of extended movements. The construction of No. 11 Dock at Portsmouth yard has at length reached that stage of progress that it has been found necessary to remove all the vessels from the steam basin, with which the new dock communicates, in order to construct the dock entrance and fit in its caisson. The vessels have not only been removed from the steam basin, but the water is now being pumped out of it in order to enable the contractors to deepen the basin, level its floor, and improve the approaches through it to the new dock. Adventage will also be taken of the opportunity to deepen and improve the entrance to No. 7, the adjoining dock to No. 11, the floor of which it is also intended to deepen as early as time cau ,be given to the work. This deepening of the steam babiu and improving the entrances to the docks which are connected with it will deprive Portsmouth yard of the use of its steam basin and the "Warrior " 1)oek for three or four months, but the adoption of such a courwe is unavoidable; No. 10, on the north inlet as it is termed in some official documents, when completed, will be a most important addition to the docking resources of Ports. mouth. It is 400 ft in length, 35ft wide on the floor, and 100 ft at the coping. Up to the broad alter it is built entirely of granite. From the broad alter it is built upwards with seven layers of Portland blocks having a vertical facing, and the four upper layers being set back in the usual manner to the NEWS p t • ,;(tls;<• -0 , • coping band. Messrs. George S r -- Pimlico, are the contractors. The following appointments and pronaoßons w " made on Thursday at the Admiralty :—Stb-Ltett- F, 0_ Powell, to the Gibraltar—Sub-Lieut. C.

The annual inspection of the Dorset Rifle Volun teers took pl.zee at Malden Castle, Dorchester, on Thursday, before Colonel Hume and Earl Shaftes bury, the Lord-Lieutenant of the county; at the conclusion of the inspection his Lordship addressed the battalion. Ile said it was a mutter of certainty now that whenever they were reviewed upon those plains they had the praises, not only of the Lord- Lieutenaut, but of the inspecting officer of every One who saw their movements. What could ho add on the present occasion to that which had fallen from Colonel Hume, a man whose opinions were founded upon experience and long-tried warfare in the sere vice of his country, and, as they saw by the meda;s on his breast, had received the reward of his hon. ourable achievements ? He (the noble lord) could only endorse what had been said, and hoped they would attend to his advice, and follow that of their gallant officer, Colonel Manse!, to whom he thought the whole county, and he might add, the whole Volunteer service, was much indebted. (Cheers,) Now, this Volunteer service had passed from an experiment into a certainty. He confessed when it commenced he had some doubts about itslperman. ence, some doubt whether the men of England would enter into it with so much heart and soul, some doubt whether they would give up so much of their time, sacrifice so much of their pleasure, and sur render so much of their property for the purpose of maintaining this great cause—the defence of their shores from any invading enemy. (Cheers.) This service has now passed into an institution, an insti tution which no other country, as he had said be fore on previous occasions, but now said again, which no other:country could possess, because no other na tion dared to entrust:arms and ammunition to 150,000 men without asking what they intended to do with them. But the enemies of this country knew what was intended to be done with them. They knew that they were determined to defend these shores, and had given a manifestation to the whole world that they did not desire aggression, nor to interfere with other men's rights and territories, but they were determined to defend their own. They must let him say that every one of them and every corps represented the insignia of the Scotch Order of the Thistle, of which probably they knew the motto, which, in Latin, was " Nemo me impune lacessit ;" or, in very good Anglo-Saxon, meant " You had much better leave me alone." (Laughter.) This was what they were saying to all nations, "We will do no harm, but, so help us Heaven, if you come here you will find to your cost you have mistaken your men." But he must say, although they would not only defend their shores, he trusted every one would do what lay in his power, under God's bless. hag, to make this country the refuge of the oppressed and the asylum of those who sought its security for civil and religious freedom. Let that be the hon. our of England, and their duty and charge together with the defence of their families, and they would then defend those great principles which were the security and safeguard of the human race. (Cheers.) But they must let him say one word respecting their drill. Drill was the life of their movement. Necessary it was that they should be conversant with firearms, that they should be good shots, and upon occasion be able to meet an enemy in many ways ; but drill was the life of the whole system. Unless they could execute movements with precision in the face of an enemy, all their skill, all their courage, and all their determination would be of no avail. He was delighted to see the manner in which they had gone through it to. day, because it showed the energy which had been devoted to this the most trying part of the service. The drill had tested their efficiency, and their success showed they had undergone that drill which was necessary for the service; therefore, from what be had seen he was convinced that the volunteer service was now permanent, and that there was no body of men which would take precedence of the volunteers of the county of Dorset. (Applause.) They must know that there was in the Houses of Parliament a custom called "swearing off"—that was, when a member of those Houses had attained a certain age (he need not say what that age was) be had the privilege of swearing off—that was, refusing office, either because he did not like it, or because he could not do it. Although he (the noble lord) might have attained that age, yet under God's blessing, he had. not reached that point when he was too old or did. not like to come among them. It was one of the greatest prides he could enjoy, one of the greatest pleasures he could pursue, one of the most honour able positions that he could ever attain, which had, been conferred upon him by her Majesty's condese tension in being placed at the head of the Volum; teers of the noble county of Dorset. In conclusion his lordship said he would wish them good morns ing, and hoped they would return to their hearths and homes in happiness and peace, and there, in the joys of domestic love, see what they had to fight for, and so use their endeavours for their posterity to the latest ages of their lives. (Loud cheers.) • His Lordship then distributed the prizes won at the recent County Association shooting, after which he left the ground amidst the cheers of the ABMs bled multitude. THE CLOSE OF THE LIFE OF LADY HESTEIC STANHOPE.—FinaIIy this eccentric lady settled at Dar Joon, in Syria, not very distant from St. Jean d'Acre. Whilst there, her spiritual visions assumed a distinct shape. The Milennium was close at hand, and she was the chosen bride of the Messiah of Nations—chosen froux before the foundations of the earth were laid—whose ad vent she hourly expected, and not less confidently after, by the lapse of time and the indulgence of vicious habits, she had withered into a smoking, chewing old crone, whose chief occupation was swearing at the " black beasts," her servants. Many persons from Europe visited her at Dar Joon. The most distinguished of them was M. Lamartine, who. in his "Eastern Travels," plentifully bedaubs her with plaster of Paris, artistically coloured.; Lady Hester had condescended to prophecy high things of the French poet ; her chief avowed reason for assuring hire that he would rise to eminence in his own country being, that although he could not pretend to an exalted instep like her own, which a kitten might creep under, water would flow beneath his pedal-arch without wetting it. Lamartine positively repeats this craziness as if he were transcribing the sayings of a Plato. Lady Hester also vouchsafed to show M. Lamartine two foals, curl. ously marked on their backs, upon which the Messialx and herself would make their entry into Jerusalem I The chosen bride of the Messiah had, strangely enough, grown oblivious of the maxims of common honesty. A pension of £1,500 per annum : must bean enormous income at Dar Joon, but her ladyship could not somehow or other make both ends meet. Creditors became clamorous, and some of the wiliest of them instructed agents in London to apply to sx court of equity for relief. The pension—at least a cond.. derable portion of it—might, they thought, be set aside for the liquidation of her ladyship's debts. That, however, could not be done ; but Lord Palmerston, then Secretary for Foreign Affairs (1838), apprised of the circumstance by Colonel Campbell, tho English Consul at Beyrout, wrote to her ladyship, politely intimating that payment of the pension would be suspended unless she would make a bona fide effort to settle with her creditors. 'This "impertinence to a Pitt" was warmly resented by Lady Hester, and, not condescending to reply direct to the Foreign Secretary, she addressed a letter to the Qu een of England herself, threatening to give up her peni,ion and with it the name of an English subject and the slavery which it entailed. As to Col. Campbell, her ladyshipbad half a mind to shoot him, either herself ur 193, prosy; he having richly deserved that fate, " for having alienated from the Queen and her country a person whom great and small must acknowledge had raised the English name in the East higher than any one had before done, besides having mad e philosophiesl researches of every description f or the benefit of mankind in ; general." The fin a l renunciation of the pension was, however, postponed and coon a more potent creditor than those who had invoked the intercession of Colonel Campbell put in his claim.
